If you love trash you will naturaly also love good games. That doesn't go the other way around, if you love good games you won't find an appeal in trash.

Now i'm saying that like i'm shitposting, but anyone who has a deeper knowledge about video games and their gameplaytechnical side OR just enjoys playing an actual game that doesn't prioritise storytelling, will find more appeal in japanese games than in western games.
Some names have been dropped already, but i don't see any western equivalents of a DMC, Tekken, God Hand, Tales or even non-action games like Resident Evil that could potentially rival them in their complexity. These games will naturally age well and incentivize people to do replays, NG+s and tons of other gimmicks they constantly upload YouTube Videos of even to this day.
Something like a Half-Life that is mostly praised to high heaven for it's elaborate narrative components is fun once and then dies after there since there is no heavy emphasis on the gameplay to warrant replays. And that's the problem with western games right there: they focus way too much on story than on gameplay. And that's extremely contraproductive in a medium that is all about interaction.

Lots of Japanese games from all sorts of era's aged really well. You can still play the first Resident Evil game on PSOne with no additional effort. You can still play Devil May Cry 3 that even today holds it's ground very well against modern games. You can still play Metal Gear Solid whose tricks and interesting gameplay interactions still would easily be extremely appealing to people today. And you can definitely still play older Tekken games since even the most modern Tekken game's system is based around Tekken 5.
Western games? Alot of their fucking PS3 era games aged terribly gameplaywise. That's why nobody wants ports of things like for instance Dead Space but rather a Remake.
